Scary Tech Stuff

Britain to put CCTV cameras inside private homes. Wow. Honestly, I'm at a loss for words on this one. I thought it was a fake news story at first. I also find it amusing that the original source news story mentions the show SHAMELESS, which is the first thing I thought of when I saw this headline.

Malicious ATM catches hackers. The fact that a new ATM was placed right outside of the security office and nobody noticed for awhile is pretty much the most comical part of this. I'm just trying to figure out how somebody was able to wheel something as big as an ATM past areas where there are cameras.

Yarr!!!

Finland wants to criminalize talking about DRM circumvention. I'm sure the media companies would love that too.

Pirate Bay spokesman Peter Sunde resigns. First man off the sinking ship.

Entertainment

Ed Norton in AVENGERS: really? I thought his HULK movie was better than the first one, and I guess Marvel did too.

Miller hates doll. That action figure does look a bit... special.

The next RIDDICK movie aims for R-rated gold. I thought PITCH BLACK was a pretty decent flick for what it was. I also thought that first RIDDICK game for the Xbox was great. The second movie, ehhh... not so much. I still haven't played the new game, the one bundled with the remake for the 360.

Video Games

New Xbox update to shrink some hard drive installs. That would be cool if I could fit more games on the meager hard drive that I have at the moment. (The biggest "official" 360 hard drive is ridiculously expensive for the amount of space it has.)
